End of the Year Updates

1.  On Monday May 23rd from 8:00 AM -12:00 Noon at Wenonah High School there will be a Zone 3 Meeting for all Certified Teachers and Principals.  The event will be similar to institute but limited to Zone 3 Schools.  As of now we do not have an assigned section for seating but I expect one to be forthcoming.

Car pooling is suggested as traffic will likely be heavy.  We are asked to park in the rear of the building.  Please wear your school colors.

2.  By now each of you have registered for the ALSDE Dyslexia Training for which we are to attend the afternoon session on May 25, 2016.  Participants are required to travel by Bus.  Our carrier will be at Brown at 11:15 AM for departure.  If you did not register you will be assigned to a make up session at a time to be determined later by the Superintendent.

3.  Teachers are asked to upload all evidence on Educate Alabama by May 24, 2016.  It is appropriate to include the Category 2 IB training that we are currently completing.

4.  On Monday afternoon and into Tuesday we will have individual grade level meetings to discuss team strengths and weaknesses from 2015-16, expectations and changes for 2016-17.
